[RC] Horse Welfare Committee -- Laurie Underwood - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Laurie A. Underwood jimmy@xxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== The data chart put together by the Committee indicates that a Peruvian Paso was euthanized 1-2 weeks after going 12 miles on what appears to have been the horse's first ride. The chart notes that the horse tied up 1 week later. I have a horse who ties up if the right precautions aren't taken (and it's taken awhile to figure all of that out), and when it has happened to her, it's always been as a result of exercise. I didn't know that horses could tie up without being exercised, but the notations in the chart seem to indicate that this might be the case. Susan or Heidi, could you please illuminate me on this? Thanks.
